Westcreek Elementary

Summary:

Westcreek Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 536 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (58.21%) and African American (29.48%), and over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Westcreek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance that is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students, all of which rank in the bottom quartile of their respective categories statewide. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,076 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the additional funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

In contrast, the nearby Texas School of the Arts and Harmony Science Academy-Fort Worth, both charter schools, significantly outperform Westcreek Elementary and the surrounding Fort Worth Independent School District schools on academic measures. This highlights the potential for alternative educational models to better serve the needs of the student population. However, the challenges faced by Westcreek Elementary are not unique, as nearby Hubbard Elementary, Westcliff Elementary, and South Hills Elementary also struggle academically and have similar demographic profiles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
